You need your 2024 AGI to efile 2025. The AGI is on 2024 1040 or 1040SR line 11. If you filed a Joint return you use the same AGI for each spouse. How to find the AGI. https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/agi/help/how-do-i-find-last-year-s-agi/01/25947 If you didn't file 2024 or filed it later in the year or mailed it, then try entering 0 for the AGI. If that doesn't work you will have to print and mail your return. Or request a transcript from the IRS https://www.irs.gov/individuals/get-transcript

Q. Is there a tax deduction for mandatory nursing education and renewal of nursing license? A. No, not for employees receiving a W-2.   Q.  Is there a tuition tax credit for mandatory nursing education and renewal of nursing license? A. If the courses were taken at a recognized college or vocational school (educational institutions eligible to participate in the student aid programs administered by the Department of Education),  you can  take the Lifetime Learning Credit (but not the American Opportunity credit). The LLC is 20% of tuition paid.   

It depends. In Virginia, standard vehicle registration fees ('sticker fees') are generally not deductible. However, the personal property tax (PPT) paid annually on your vehicle to a county or city, which is based on the vehicle's value, is deductible on federal returns. You must itemize deductions to claim this.

To enter this in TurboTax Online, navigate to Federal > Deductions & Credits > Add more deductions > Cars and Other Things You Own > Car Loan Interest    There are a few qualifications that are required in order to be eligible for this deduction.   According to What is the vehicle loan interest deduction?, here are the rules: "It was purchased, not leased, in 2025. It’s a brand new vehicle. In other words, you didn’t buy it used. Its final assembly was in the U.S. You can check this by entering your VIN and model year into the VIN decoder provided by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. You’ll also include the VIN on your tax return. It's a car, van, SUV, motorcycle, or pickup truck that weighs less than 14,000 pounds. You bought it for personal use. You didn’t pay the interest to a family member or a business you own. The loan must be secured by the vehicle."

Sorry, Online is only for 2025 now. Online for 2024 and prior is closed now so you can not start a new 2024 or prior return or finish one. You have to do each year separately How to prepare a prior year return https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/using-turbotax/help/how-do-i-prepare-a-prior-year-tax-return/00/25984 To do a prior year return you have to buy the Desktop program here, https://turbotax.intuit.com/personal-taxes/past-years-products You will need Windows 10 or Mac Ventura 13 to install it on.

Here is the IRS 2024 Form 1040 https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-prior/f1040--2024.pdf OR if you want bigger type use 1040SR for Seniors, https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-prior/f1040s--2024.pdf And 2024 Instructions https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-prior/i1040gi--2024.pdf Sch 1 : https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-prior/f1040s1--2024.pdf Sch 2 : https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-prior/f1040s2--2024.pdf Sch 3 : https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-prior/f1040s3--2024.pdf Then when you do file 2025 enter 0 for the 2024 AGI since you are filing 2024 late.

Thank you very much - if I change the order and place Multiple States first and New York second, that does not work.  the box 12 state flag in the 1099-DIV form is stuck at NY. If I change manually change the box 12 state flag  from NY to XX, then for IT-201 fills properly.  

Im sorry. I need clarification.  My 1099 B from the Fidelity has four funds, two categories each  - short term and long term sales.  The long term sales include inherited funds and dividends that are over a year old.  I have Long term inherited basis, long term dividend investments, and short term dividend investments.  I will do two long term sales 1099B and one short term 1099B per fund. Do I enter Fidelity's incorrect data to match the 1099B they provided, then select that the basis is incorrect on the form, then when prompted enter the correct basis?  Or do I enter the correct basis in place of the number on the 1099 prior to selecting that the basis provided is incorrect? Since Fidelity only provided one long term 1099B per fund, I have to add another one so I can report the dividend shares separate from the inherited shares.  In this case, I guess I just put in the correct information because there is not any value on the 1099B to change.
